Anita will be the Senior VP of Strategic Communications for the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in Alexandria, Va.

She looks forward to starting the new chapter in her life.

"Hospice and bereavement counseling have been very important to my family in dealing with several losses, and I am honored to be representing NHPCO and all its members across the US. The organization has a foundation that funds charitable initiatives to help families deal with end-of-life decisions, pediatric palliative care, and bereavement. They also work with organizations in Africa that do the same, especially for families dealing with losses due to HIV/AIDS," Brikman said.
